phenomenon of the appearance of blood-coloured spots on various articles of food. 

 I Jr. ' ••• when al Rouen in July, had many opportunities of examining food of 



ra , :. both animal and vegetable, which was so spotted in a few hours. He 



f oun d 1 1. o be precisely the same with that reported on by Ehrenbcrg 



aj Berlin, u able to propagate it at pleasure on rice paste. He refers the 



ion to the genus Palladia, but the whole history is against its being an Alga. 

 I- n probable that it is a fungus of the lowest order, similar to the white 



opaline Bpecka which so often occur on meat and other substances in an incipient state 

 of decay. -M m Comptea Rendus, 1852. 



Dr. HassaU announced in the Lancet, two years since, the discovery of the full 

 elopment of the yeast fungus ; but as his fungus merely appeared on a solution of 

 ,,, ,i t . it < before what was the true nature of the yeast plant. Mr. 



Berki lej and Mr. G. H. Boflrnan succeeded in tracing its development from the 

 globules of yeast to a perfect state, exactly according with the plant of Dr. Hassall, 

 but their ob 08 have not yet been published. By similar observations of thin 



slices of a sclerotiuui inclosed in a microscopic cell, they were enabled to trace the 

 development of its cellular tissue into a mucor, thus confirming the notion that 

 are really nothing more than a compact mycelium. — Hort. Trans., 1848. 



Few subjects are more obscure than that of the production of parasitic fungi. It 

 is almost certain that the reproductive bodies circulate with the sap into the most 

 intimate cavities, and in a form so minute as not to be recognised by the most 

 searching microscope. A curious case is noticed by Mr. Berkeley in the Gardener's 

 C/tnmic/c for Sep. 20, 1851, of a new fungus produced on Nocera onions from seed, 

 received from the Horticultural Society. This fact by itself is of little importance, 

 had not the same thing occurred in a different part of the country with seed received 

 from the same quarter. The Rev. M. A . Curtis has lately sent the same thing on a 

 very white skinned onion from Pennsylvania. Something similar was observed with 

 plants of Pyracantha raised from Russian seeds in the garden of the Horticultural 

 Society at Chiswick. 



Perfect moulds belonging to more than one genus, and amongst them Penicillium, 

 have been found inclosed in amber. — Berk, in Ann. of Nat. Hist, Dec. 1848.
